This is dreamy, delightful, and amazing. Like you, I am an amateur, self-taught pianist and composer. I love music. My mother took me as a young child to the symphony (circa 1964) and I was astounded. It wasn't until recently that I taught myself by simply playing over and over. Like you, I compose something or lay words over an instrumental and post it to SoundCloud and ask permission to make it public. I have been lucky to be allowed to make those works available to listeners here.

I am still listening and it covers so much space. It is very interesting. I love it.

This is beautiful.  The art of improving is learning to let go,  crawl inside the music instead of thinking about what keys to play.

Here's a video that was created by Philleann.

I was very lucky to collaborate with Philleann @philleann: on such a beautiful song. 
Peter @user-264930040 collaborated on the lyrics. 


The Glimmering Shore

They married in haste on a bright winter’s day 
Knowing the next tide would sail him away 
But he pledged his return come the warmth of the May
 And to wait for him there on the glimmering shore

High masted whaler, fading from view 
Beyond her horizon of shimmering blue 
Steeling her heart, through tearful adieu 
Set to wait for her love by that glimmering shore

May’s softness as swallows came dancing on air 
July blessed her life with his daughter so fair 
Then autumn winds rising, whispering despair 
While she waits for her love on that glimmering shore

Darklings of winter, snow blankets the sand.
 Earth forged to ice, life stripped from the land. 
Daily returning, the horizon to scan 
To wait for her love on that glimmering shore

Weeks swelled to months that folded to years
 Hope’s light expiring, extinguished by fears 
And the salty sea roared and it crashed like her tears
As she waits for her love on that glimmering shore

Like a ship gripped by tempest ne’er to break free
 Her heart imprisoned on a turbulent sea. 
No lighthouse of guidance to lead her to lee. 
She'd wait for her love on that glimmering shore

The Glimmering Shore (feat. Philleann)

Unreachable.

I've started this song last autumn.

I wanted to express the repetitive attempt to touch what remains out of reach. Physically. Mentally. Locked from the outside. Locked from the inside.  When the words are missing. When the meaning is nowhere. 
To go on. Try. Again and again.

No matter how far away you are, you never left my side. Love you Dad 💖✨

Never Left Your Side (with video)

aphel is part of the Додому projekt.

Додому is Ukranian for home, or more precisely going home; what the world wishes for the Ukrainians today.
We are over a hundred musicians from all around the world, and from all backgrounds, who have compiled a selection of music which spans over multiple volumes, in support of the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Support them by downloading Домому here: https://dodomu.bandcamp.com/album/i— one or all of its volumes.
All profits are directed to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Spread the word.

about the song:
"Aphel" is the point in orbit of the earth where it is farthest from the sun.
It is the moment of returning…  back towards the sun, to humanity and hope.
It´s the turning point.
I´d love to see this also for our world.

„Auszeit“  (10.05.2023 )

Es ist was es ist. 
Man sitzt am Klavier und spielt so im Moment vor sich hin.
Ein kleines Klavierstück für eine Zeit im leeren Klangraum.
Es bleibt alles in Schwingung. Der Ton halt nach, verklingt und schweigt.
Klangauszeit ?

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Time out" (05/10/2023 )

It is what it is.
You sit at the piano and play to yourself in the moment.
A small piano piece for a time in empty sound space.
Everything keeps vibrating. The sound lingers, fades away and falls silent.
Sound time out ?

Thank you for your valued attention.

Time Out

Tombeau Part I: Solo

“I’d Rather Have Some of You Than None” captures the delicate dance between desire and reality. The tender notes echo the ache of unfulfilled love, yet celebrate the moments shared. It’s a melody that whispers, “Even fragments of you are precious.” Each chord resonates with the bittersweet beauty of human connections—the fleeting touch, the stolen glances, the whispered promises.

I'd rather have some of you than none

A real improvisation in which space and time become one.
The space of a land to which one would like to return but end up not returning and the time now finished of an age that will never return.
This impro is dedicated to my great friend Luigi.

The space of one night

I'm on SoundCloud from November 2015.
I'm just an amateur self taught pianist and composer, a lover of music and I'm glad to have discovered the planet SoundCloud and its interesting people.
Sometimes I compose something or I improvise a song , and if I like it i send it to SoundCloud to make it listen. I thank you for the time you want to devote to listen to my songs.
